A/HRC/28/50 B. 1. Integration of human rights into security sector reform Implementation of new Government policies 58. In September 2014, the Government adopted a national priority action strategy as a part of judicial reforms. The overall aim of the national priority action strategy is to strengthen the rule of law and improve governance in the field of justice. Moreover, the strategy, which relies on the consolidation of the rule of law and the reform of the prison system, should eventually ensure the independence of the judiciary and facilitate access to justice. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, together with other agencies of the United Nations system operating in Guinea, provided technical support for the preparation of that strategy. 59. On 30 June 2014, the President of the Republic of Guinea set up the Provisional National Reconciliation Commission, co-chaired by the Head Imam of Conakry, El-hadj Mamadou Saliou Camara, and the Archbishop of Conakry, Monsignor Vincent Coulibaly. The Commission’s task is to discuss and draw up a national consultation programme to gauge public opinion on a national reconciliation process. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights provided technical support to recruit 25 members of the staff of the Provisional Commission, including 8 project coordinators, 8 assistants and 8 community outreach workers. 2. Legislative reforms 60. Other priorities of the Government include the ongoing preparation of a bill on the organization of the judicial system and a new policy on the organization of the prison system. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights helped to raise awareness among the members of the National Steering Committee for Judicial Reform about the integration of human rights into that important process. 61. The process of reforming the security sector, which was initiated in 2010 with the support of the international community, intensified during 2014, with special emphasis on the monitoring, by democratic, civilian actors, of the defence and security forces. A code of conduct for the army, drawn up on the basis of respect for human rights, was prepared and disseminated across the country, with the support of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Thanks to the support of the Office of the High Commissioner and of the United Nations Development Programme, information on the Military Justice Code was also disseminated among the various units of the armed forces based in the country’s four military regions. This outreach activity enabled the members of the defence and security forces better to understand the contents and scope of the various provisions of the Code and the process whereby military personnel guilty of human rights violations are punished. 62. As a part of the implementation of a project to strengthen community policing, supported by the Peacebuilding Fund, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is involved in the integration of human rights modules into the basic training curricula of the defence and security forces, including in police and gendarmerie training facilities and military academies and training centres. C. Support for civil society bodies 63. In 2014, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights organized seven coordination and cooperation meetings with civil society bodies on the human rights situation in Guinea. The meetings made it possible to strengthen the capacity of NGOs to perform their roles and responsibilities for the promotion and protection of human rights, advocacy to ensure that human rights issues are taken into account when working to GE.15-03278 13
